Several electricity supply projects to Afghanistan have been halted since the past four months due to the suspension of funds from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the World Bank and the US development aid in the wake of the country’s takeover by the Taliban, according to officials from the national power company.
The officials from Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS) said that Turkmenistan’s 500 KV electricity transmission to Afghanistan is one of the halted projects, which was transferring electricity from the border of Turkmenistan to Sheberghan’s Aqina port and then to the Alvazun plain of Kunduz and finally to the Arghandi district of Kabul, reports TOLO News.
